Soldiers come to the world

In the courtyard of the Youfu Office, Zhang Ping respectfully knelt down to Liu Jing, cupping his fists in salute, "The lowly Zhang Ping is rude and dull, ignorant of superiority and inferiority, and offended the governor, so I'm here to plead guilty!"

Zhang Ping clasped his fist at Lu Sheng again, "Zhang Ping also wants to apologize to Shuzuo."

Lu Sheng hurriedly returned the salute, not daring to accept his apology.

Zhang Ping's apology was expected by Liu Jing. When we first met yesterday, no matter how much Zhang Ping apologized, Liu Jing would not forgive him. , Liu Jing was somewhat unhappy.

"Personally, I can accept Thief Cao's apology, but I always distinguish between public and private in my work. Whether Thief Cao can stay or not depends on the opinion of the county."

"It doesn't matter whether you can stay or not. What's important is that Du Cao beat me awake with a stick, which made me understand that you must be self-aware. I always thought that I was strong in martial arts. The last time I saw Du Cao and Cai Jin compete in martial arts, I endured it." I couldn't stop wanting to fight Du Cao, but I ended up humiliating myself, alas! I have practiced stick skills for more than ten years, but I can't stop Du Cao's blow."

After a pause, Zhang Ping said again: "I would like to take the blame and do meritorious service, and I would like to work for Governor Cao. I will work harder to patrol the river, and please Governor Cao Enzhun."

Zhang Ping's tone was very sincere. It had to be said that this person was full of flesh and looked fierce and rude, but when he softened, he was like a grandson, wanting to prostrate on the ground and lick the other's feet.

In fact, this kind of talent is terrible. This is a typical person who has no bottom line, no self-esteem, and naturally no forgiveness. Once he succeeds, his methods will be cruel and ruthless.

For such a person, one must always be extremely vigilant and not be confused by his so-called sincerity.

Liu Jing smiled lightly, "Tie Zhang Cao is not busy doing things first, go home and have a good rest, we wait for news from the county government."

The two are arguing over what Zhang Ping should do now, whether he is going to work at the expense of his guilt, or waiting for a letter at home, which involves a crucial time difference.

Zhang Ping wanted to stay in his position wholeheartedly. If this matter was left alone, it would have little impact on him, and it was very likely that this matter would be left alone.

But Liu Jing did not agree with him staying in office under the guise of guilt, and resolutely drove him home.

The above was arguing, and there was no conclusion for a while. If Zhang Ping was not on duty, Liu Jing could rearrange the manpower. Even if the impeachment failed, when Zhang Ping came back, things would have changed.

So the two confronted each other and refused to give in.

Zhang Ping added with a smile: "Now that we are at the end of the year, it is the busiest time of the year. Water thieves are ready to move around, and tax evasion is also the most. How can a humble official rest at home at this time?"

Liu Jing laughed and said: "Zhang Thief is loyal to his duty, which is admirable, but according to the usual practice, it is really not appropriate for Zhang Thief to appear at the travel payment office these days, so as not to be criticized by others. Go back and rest first, and I will try my best to help the thief." Cao Meiyan, as soon as there is news, I will notify you to come back immediately, so don't worry!"

No matter what Zhang Ping said, Liu Jing was determined not to give in. At this time, Zhang Ping did not dare to offend Liu Jing anymore, so Zhang Ping had no choice but to leave.

When Zhang Ping left, Lu Sheng immediately smiled and said: "Du Cao did the right thing. Zhang Ping is the best at hiding people behind his back. If he stays in the camp, he will be a thorn in Du Cao's back. It’s not good to control travel and payment.”

How can Liu Jing not understand this truth? Since ancient times, there have been emperors and courtiers, and even this small tourist payment office is no exception.

He was provoked by Zhang Ping as soon as he took office. If he can't handle this matter, who will listen to him in the future?Where is his prestige?

It's just that Liu Jing can decide whether Zhang Ping will stay or not. He has already submitted the report, and the rest is the struggle from above, which has little to do with him.

But that being said, he could actually add insult to injury. ． ． ． ． ． ．

After pondering for a while, Liu Jing ordered Lu Sheng, "Gather all the brothers together, I have something to say to them."

. . . . . . . . . .

At noon, the soldiers were eating in the courtyard, and Liu Jing hurried out of the travel payment office. Outside the gate of the travel payment office, there stood an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, who was Liu Jing's maid, Xiao Baozi, with her hands in her arms. A basket, timid, craned his neck to visit the gate from time to time.

At this time, Liu Jing walked out of the gate quickly, and the little bun saw it and jumped up happily, "Young master, I am here."

"What's the matter?" Liu Jing stepped forward and asked.

"My lord, someone at home is looking for it. It's an elder. He gave me a piece of this."

Xiao Baozi took out a piece of plain white paper from the basket and handed it to Liu Jing, Liu Jing took it. It turned out to be a greeting card with the words on the head: "Greetings from different degrees. ． ． ． '

Liu Jing was surprised that it was Kuai Yue, he quickly asked, "Is he still there?"

"Still waiting at home! He seems to be looking for young master for something."

"I'll be right back!"

Liu Jing went back to the place and took out the horse, got on the horse and ran towards the city. ． ． ． ． ．

When visiting the widow of former Ma Du Cao yesterday, Liu Jing finally knew the inside story of the Youpay Office, which was actually the struggle between the Kuai family and Zhang Yun.

Although Liu Jing didn't understand why Youjia's supervisor Cao was not a high position, why the two of them competed so fiercely, but there was one thing that made Liu Jing unhappy.

That is the role played by Kuai Yue in his appointment as Youjiao, who actually treated Liu Jing as a pawn and used him to deal with Zhang Yun.

In fact, Kuai Yue is a good person and takes good care of him. If Kuai Yue asked him directly, he would be willing to help Kuai Yue. It's just Liu Jing's character, he doesn't like being manipulated.

He has his own dignity. Although Kuai Yue is an elder and a senior official in Jingzhou, Liu Jing still hopes that Kuai Yue can give him some respect.

So since Liu Jing knew the truth yesterday, he felt a little bit of unhappiness in his heart, but Kuai Yue actually came to explain in person, which made Liu Jing's little bit of unhappiness disappear.

"Uncle Shi came to the door in person, the younger generation can't afford it!" Liu Jing said anxiously as he walked into the yard.

Kuai Yue was sitting in the room drinking tea, when he heard Liu Jing's voice, he put down his teacup and came out, smiling, "I, the landlord, come to see the tenant, can't I?"

"So this is... Uncle Shi's house." Liu Jing really didn't expect it.

"Yes! I came here to collect the rent today."

Kuai Yue winked at him with a kind of childlike naughtiness, both of them couldn't help laughing.

"It's cold outside, Uncle Shi, please come in and sit down!"

Liu Jing invited Kuai Yue into the living room, Uncle Meng served them tea, Kuai Yue looked around the room and said with a smile: "This house is very rough, is my nephew still used to it?"

"It's not bad. I like the quiet here very much. In fact, I don't care about living here. I can live in a hut. Besides, it's better than living under a fence."

"Sending someone under the fence? Ha ha! My nephew's words are serious. The state shepherd asked my nephew to come out to live. In fact, I hope my nephew can stand on his own, otherwise he won't be able to arrange a position."

Liu Jing didn't want to talk too much about this matter, so he turned the topic back, "Uncle Shi knows about Zhang Ping! My impeachment was handed in yesterday afternoon. I don't know if there is any explanation."

When the topic turned to business, Kuai Yue gave a wry smile and said apologetically, "I came here to apologize today. I didn't intend to take advantage of my nephew's appointment as Governor Cao. It's just that I didn't have time to explain it to you. Something went wrong, sorry!"

"Uncle Shi is an elder, how can he apologize to me, a junior, I really can't afford to be a junior, so there is no need to talk about this matter, this junior has no objection, and I am very grateful for Uncle Shi's arrangement."

Kuai Yue saw that Liu Jing was neither humble nor overbearing, courteous, and he really liked him in his heart. In fact, today he not only came to explain the situation to Liu Jing, but also wanted to discuss with him how to deal with this matter.

Kuai Yue pondered for a while and said, "This matter unexpectedly involved Cai Mao."

Liu Jing was taken aback, "Isn't that Zhang Ping Cai Zhong's brother-in-law? It's normal to bring Cai Mao into this, isn't it strange?"

Kuai Yue shook his head, "Although he is Cai Zhong's brother-in-law, this incident did not alarm the Cai family, and it has nothing to do with Cai Mao, but I heard that Zhang Yun visited Cai Mao yesterday, so Wu Qing, the chief minister of Xiangyang, will Trying to defend Zhang Ping, this Wu Qing is the son-in-law of the Cai family."

"and then?"

Liu Jing then asked: "What was the result of the impeachment?"

"There is no result, I'm stuck there, Wang Juncheng is determined to dismiss Zhang Ping, but Wu Qing insists on it, the two can't stand each other, so Li Taishou put the matter on the shelf and discuss it later, I'm afraid it will be nothing in the end."

Liu Jing remained silent. In fact, it was not a bad thing to let it go. At least he could use "this matter has not been dealt with yet" as an excuse to keep Zhang Ping out and not let him reinstate him. I believe he has the right to do so.

The point is that Cai Mao was also involved in this incident. Cai Mao obviously gave Zhang Yun face. As a result, Cai Hao and Zhang Yun wore a pair of pants. This Cai Mao would seize the opportunity. Perhaps Cai Mao in history The alliance with Zhang Yun started from this incident.

Seeing Liu Jing's silence, Kuai Yue thought he was worried about the consequences of this matter, so he comforted him and said, "Actually, this matter is not a big deal. For the Kuai family, it's just to regain their breath. My son-in-law of the Kuai family was slaughtered like this. I really can’t swallow this breath. To be honest, the Kuai family still doesn’t like the position of a small governor. I mainly don’t want to let Zhang Ping go. If my nephew Feel embarrassed, forget it."

Liu Jing pondered for a while and asked again: "Then why did Zhang Yun strive for this seat?"

Kuai Yue sneered, "It's just for profit."

Liu Jing walked a few steps in the room with his hands behind his back. In fact, he didn't like the position of a small supervisor, but if he used this matter to make the Kuai family owe him a favor, it would be a big deal. Zhang Ping damaged his prestige a bit, but compared with the favor he received from Kuai's family, this loss was insignificant.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing smiled and said: "Uncle Shi, I have two plans. The first is to drive Zhang Ping out of the Second Tourist Payment Office. This is very simple, and I can do it tomorrow..."

"How can you do that?" Kuai Yue asked in bewilderment.

"It's very simple. I'll have all the soldiers go to the county office tomorrow to file a letter accusing Zhang Ping of bullying his subordinates. He probably won't be able to come back."

Kuai Yue laughed, "That's a good idea. In fact, going to the state government to file a complaint will have a better effect."

"Does Uncle Shi want to hear the second plan?" Liu Jing asked again with a smile.

"Nephew, please tell me, I'm all ears!" Kuai Yue became more interested, he really wanted to know how Liu Jing would handle this matter.

"The second plan is to let Zhang Ping stay in the travel payment office. I guarantee that within half a year, he will hand over his life to Uncle Shi, and at the same time let Zhang Yun lose his reputation."

Kuai Yue's eyes lit up, he glanced at Liu Jing again, and smiled meaningfully. He knew Liu Jing's ability and believed in his words.

Moreover, Kuai Yue also felt Liu Jing's sincerity in wanting to make friends with the Kuai family, which was what Kuai Yue had been looking forward to all along. The first time he saw Liu Jing, he felt that he was extraordinary.

Now, it doesn't matter whether Zhang Ping can be killed or not. The important thing is that Liu Jing has sincerity towards the Kuai family.

Kuai Yue nodded, "If this is the case, I will choose the second option. I am looking forward to seeing a wonderful ending."

Speaking of this, Kuai Yue got up and said with a smile: "If my nephew is not too crude, I will give it to you. It can be regarded as my congratulatory gift to my nephew's promotion!"
